Molly Ivins on “City of Heroes”

Well, not actually. But it very much fits.

“Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cat, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin’ ass and celebratin’ the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.”

— Molly Ivins (1944-2007), “The Fun’s in the Fight,” Mother Jones (May/Jun 1993)
